If we have a right to pre writ) a stable form of government we certainly hava a right to ad minis ter it. Again it it is the Filipino's right to renounce allegiaus to the Unite I .States, have Independence, then it is hs right to form his own government, for that is one of the very prerogative of independence. The democratic platform does not stand nrmly before the attacks of logic. All the trouble we have ever had in this state within the political par ties has been occasioned by "packing the primaries." Kvery ticket nomi nated, uniufluenced except by the party, has received the united sup port of the organization, notwith standing some of the candidates have not been favorites with every voter. But designing leaders have not al ways been able to withstand the temptation to colonize and introduce irresponsible tersons from the oppo site party. Thiabai led to drafting primal y laws. Up to thla time no grent success has been achieved. Ho far the laws have been in the direc tion of holding an election where both parties, on the name day and uuuer me supervision or thd same election board, ballot for the person whom the voter desires for his eandi . date. The one receiving the greatest number of votes Is it. Itecently the plan was tried in Minneapolis when municipal officers were to lie noml nated. The democrats voted for i republican for mayor, who was un isipuiar, nominated him and at the election he was snoweJ under. It is said that the scheme as far as the re mainder el the ticket was effected. whs satisfactory. In the one office. howev.r, the weakness of the idea Is shown and at another election both parties can ami probably will resort to the same trick, wherefore the 'primary reform" will give the poor est material either party has for offi cials instead of the bent. ABRAHAM UJtlOI.JCS WORIM. TUK BLACK' CALAMJTV. MThe big anthracite coal strue has given the prosperity howl of the lianna campaign managers a severe and telling setoack in the Informa tion it baa disseminated to the gen eral public. The coal trust which has been creature of greed from first to last, and which has ever been one of the beneficiaries of an uuright eous tariff, has teen paying its de pendents the miserable average ol about ninty ceuta per d.iy, uiatu which a whole family mutt be sup ported, In these piping rays of pros perity, and rainbow of uuiver-al couteutmeut!'' The above composition is clipped from the Argus, and while it '-dis seminates information." it doen not go quite far enough. The Indepex dent has not information to justify the statement that only 90 cents per day is the wage rate, but one ft'te- ment was read where wages of MO was named. It is understood, hou ever, that the grievance is not one of wages alone, but child labor is added Boys, at least iu some miiies, are put to work at the lender age of H years, lying hour, too, come in for rurtail ment. But more than these may la- men tioned, anthracite coal may la ban died by a trurt. urobably is. but it does not have tariff protection, for it is on the free list, (Tariff Act, 1H'.7 tree list paragraph 6U-'i.) And, by the way, that may account lor low warn, lor such Is a characteristic of free trade in general. Ho the authra cite coal trust is in no wise due to a protective tariff. And thus do fact mar the theories of Bryan and Ion supporters. THE TWO POLICIES. A few days ago Candidate Bryau made a seeeh in which he pretend ed to quote from Abraham Lincoln's first inaugurar address, delivered in 1801. Air. lioht. F. Bell, attorney, Portland, who is familiar with Pres. Lincoln's writings, in a letter pub. lished iu the Oregonlan, points out that Mr. Lincoln used no such lan guage as that attributed to him by Bryan. The Itoseburg Review at tempts to break the terrible blow dealt by Mr. Bell in a paragraph which leads: "The Oregonlan is making a great ado over the allegations of one Kohl. r. licit that Wui. J. Bryan mis quoted Abraham Lincoln at Chicago. ine real trouble is, none of the lianna crowd can stind before the searchlight of truth set forth in the words of the great commoner in he. half of the "plain people." The "only paiier" and all its puptets are but the ignominious tools of nionopo. listlc greed, which Lincoln foresaw would attempt to take away not only the jteople's rights, but would destroy the very foundation princi ples of (he government Itself." It will be noticed the Review ds not question the truth of Mr. Bell's charge. No republican is attempting to discredit what Mr. Lincoln said, but it is the words which he did not say, but only jwt Bryan, that they refuse to use for a guide. The itolitiral party that rejolcta In the reverses of the troops of the trmpsover the country It purports to support is not to be trusted. Happi ly the democratic party baa bad but slight cause for celebrating Tagml victories. Eugene Register. The United Slates recognizes China as an independent nation has done so since tiie beginning of difficulties there lastspiing. All in- tercouse with that nation has U en on ti at theory. The European na Hons have followed the lead of our goveri ment up to now. LaHt week. however, Germany led off on a new tack and has Iteen joined by Russia, France and Japan. The Oeiinan idea demands the surrender for pun ishment of those Chinese leaders w ho fomented the molts that killed the whites, before negotiations for peace shall tie undertaken. The United Htales is ready now to begin eace negotiation. Our gov ernment is willing to concede that China is a well disposed government, sovereign, able and willing to control its disorderly or criminal subjects. We do not excuse any crimes that have been committed nor do we pro pose that the criminals shall iwape punishment, but we prefer I li.it, China shall pass sentence on its own assassins and execute its own decrees The effact will lie belter on Chinese society. If the guilty are punished by the Oermaiii or by the Allies col lectively, the Chinese will not lie de terred from again resorting to the assassin's weajsins when the foreign power has retired. But if i he Chinese authority indicia pun,. aliment, tie disorderly element will know that a powerful restraining hand is always present. The United Htales proposes tocomtel China by treaty to hunt out and bring those individuals to justice whereas Germany will have to hunt for them by cavalry detach ments wherever they may hide in that great empire. A British exponent of public opiu iou calls the American policy weak kneed. Was Hay's note of July ltd weak-kneed? Was Chaffee weak- kneed or his soldiers who marched over burning Hands or througli slimy ditches. Was Col. Lincoln of the 9ih or the men who lasted death with him weak-kneed? In truth our gov ernment adopts Klicies ot right, jus tice and propriety without thought of the condition of its knees. And in this instance Lord Haulnhury chooses a policy identical with that of America. many oilier parts of the empire, ami their punishment is believed to ' an essential element of any effective H tleiuen' which shall p,evei;t a recur retiCM of such outrages and bring about teace iu China. It is thought, however, that no punitive measures cau l so ellective by way of retara. tion for wrongs suffered, and as de terreut examples lor the future, as the degradation and uuuUhmciit of the responsible authors by the sup reme imperial aulhori'y iiself, an I it seems only just to China that she should be a Horded iu the first iustance au opHirtuuity to do this, and thus rehabilitate herself before the world. "Believing thusly, and without attatiiig in any wise its deliberate purpose to exact the fullest accounta bility from the responsible authors of the wrongs we have suffered iu China, the government of the United Htates is not disposed, as a preliminary con dition to entering Into diplomatic negotiations with the Chinese gov ern men t, to join iu a demand that said government surrender to the powers such tersons as, according to the determination of the powers themselves, may be held to be the first and real perpetrator of thoee wrongs. On the other hand, this government is disposed to hold that the punihhmen' of the high respon sible authors of these wrongs, not only iu Pi kin, but throughout China, is essentially a condition to lie fui- oraced and provided for in the nego tiations for a ft nal settlement. prise of all Kunpe the Kn:ih gov ernment lakes ilie Ailn ri'KO view.
